The Quench Of Contentment
The moon being clustered round by starry fays ,
Feels her loneliness , as the Sun she misses .
The saint-hood of drought creaked earth ,
Feels restless , for monsoon's birth .
The lamps with flattery's oils , and ambition's wicks ,
Turn lifeless monotonous , and Time-fool sicks .
The plants overpowered by parasite- trespassers ,
Seek assistance of the removal of the outlaws .
